[PATCH] workaround regression in ina2xx introduced by cb47755725da("time: Prevent undefined behaviour in timespec64_to_ns()")
From: Iain Hunter

From: Iain Hunter <iain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
That change adds an error check to avoid saturation during multiplication
to calculate nano seconds in timespec64_to_ns().
In ina2xx_capture_thread() a timespec64 structure is used to calculate
the delta time until the next sample time. This delta can be negative if
the next sample time was in the past. In the -1 case timespec64_to_ns()
now clamps the -1 second value to KTIME_MAX. This essentially puts ina2xx
thread to sleep forever.
Proposed patch is to replace the call to timespec64_to_ns() with the
contents of that function without the overflow test introduced by the
commit (ie revert to pre kernel 5.4 behaviour)
